Too Long q Name.

Col. John McGonigIe, the able editor
of the Ventura Democr at and also editor
of the postoffice at San Buenaventura,
dislikes so long name and says: "We
have several times suggested the propo-
sition of changing, or rather cutting off.
portion of the name of our postotice,
for the reason that it is a cumbersome
title at best, and mail matter frequently
miscarried by senders and carriers
confounding San Buenaventura with San
Bernardino. We believe that q change
of name would meet the desire of the
people of the community generally, and
we shall be glad to cooperate with cit.
izens in the matter at any time. There
will be no difficulty in obtaining author
ity to make the change on application.
It will only involve the necessity of q
new bond on the part of the postmaster
and if we are to act in that capacity we
shall regard that little additional duty as
nothing. The annoyance growing out
of missent mail matter. owing to the
cause mentioned, is far more formidable
than is generally believed, and there is no
sensible reason why the matter should not
be remedied at once. Letters and papers
addressed to this Office and to us individ.
ually have frequently gone to San Ber-
nardino instead, and we know that 9TH
ers have had similar experience. Not
only that, kilograms are often missent.
An undelivered dispatch for John Nc
Gonigle was advertised in the San Ber.
nardino Courier of Monday, and being
satisfied that that dispatch was intended
for US at San Buenaventura, we had il
forwarded there and found such to be

Countinx the Cotton Crop,

The cotton exchanges of Savannah and
Charleston are at odds over the system
of counting cotton receipts at the ports.
Under rule of the National Cotton Ex.
change, port receipts are counted as net
at the first outport they reach, and ~
gross at whatever other ports they may
afterward touch. The Savannah Ex-
change, acting nnder this rule, counted
27, $50 bales. which passed through
Savannah On the way to Charleston.
This is regarded by Charleston as unfair,
as the cotton was consigned direct
to Charleston and went there
without breaking bulk. The
Savannah Exchange points to the rules
of the National Exchange. As it stands
the 27, $50 bales have been counted
twice. The rule above mentioned was
adopted to prevent just such disputes or
mistakes as this. According to the
regulations generally followed, it il
stated that Charleston should have
Counted the cotton as gross receipts and
not net. The Charleston News and
Courier thinks that Charleston ia en-.
titled to the receipts because Of tho
cotton being through shipment. A.
the case stands the receipts appenr in
Savannah's net receipts in accordauce
with the rules noticed. [BradAtreet'R

A Nurse maids New Attire.

Here is an accurate picture of-whom
do you suppose? A Fifth Avenue nurse
maid. Where is her white cap? She
dosen't wear any. And her apron?
That is gone, too. How, then, is she to
be distinguished from pretty girls who
are not servile? By means of her wide
white linen collar and cuffs. The fash
ionable matron concerns herself acutely
about the costuming of the household
servants. Just the same as in clothing
herself, she seeks to keep different and
ahead of the multitude. White caps
and aprons on ehildren's nurses have be.
come common. Therefore the swell
mother sends her offspring out for an
airing. with a newly dressed servitor.
This young person is clad plainly but
neatly. Her bonnet is stylish, her
bodice is fitted like glove, her skirts are
gracefully draped, and her feet are in
French.heeled CATERS; but conspicuous
badges of her menial calling are dead
white collar and equally clean but gloss
less cuffs. These impart the desired
singularity, and at the same time are
new.-[New York Cor. Cincinnati En-

Condemn II.

In coming down the hill from the Ar
rowhead Springs yesterday, the large
wagon in which picnic party of ladies
and gentlemen were seated, came very
nearly rolling over down the precipice
and causing a terrible accident. Two
wagons tried to pass, and the picnic
party went too near the chasm, and the
wagon went over the side of the road.
1t was just on balance, and the gentle
men of the party had to jump out and
weight it down until the ladies climbed
out. Then it was with difficulty that
the vehicle was drawn out without turn.

is no doubt in the world about this So
called road being the most dangerous
and most unsatisfactory of all the roads
in the county, and yet it leads to what
could be made one of the most attractive
and beautiful resorts in the State oi
California. The road should be con
demnea by the Board of Supervisors, as
it is dangerous in the extreme.-[Sar

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, April THE Cabinet
met at IL o'clock to-day, in accordance
with the plan for the summer months,
and remained in session over three hourl.
The meeting was devoted almost entirely
to the consideration of international
questions, the most important relating to
Canadian fisheries, the policy of Great
Britain with regard to the island of
Hayti and the seal fisheries of Alaska.
In regard to the fisheries question, it is
understood that information has been
received to the effect that England sus-
tains the position taken by the Canadian
authorities and is in no wise disposed to
make the concessions requested by this
government. This question was consid-
cred by the Cabinet with view to the
advisability of suitable action by the
President under the provisions of the
Retaliatory act. The alleged demand of
Great Britain for the possession of the
Tortugas islands or the payment by the
Haytian government of ST. 900, 600, in set
tlement of an old claim, was considered
at some length. The United States have
great interests in Hayti, commercial and
otherwise, and are deeply concerned in
its welfare and prosperity. A CORE
spondence will be opened with Great
Britain on this subject.
The Alaska seal fisheries were dis.
cussed with view to their better pro-
lection from foreign interference. It is
that the interests are now
threatened by wanton and wholesale
of seals in open ocean. 1t seems
that during the day the female seals leave
their young On an island in charge of
the males while they go miles away in
search of food, with which they return
at night. Rec sntly practice sprung up
of catching the female seals while they
are in search of food. Their young
perish, as a matter of course, and the
of the animal is endangered.
The difficulty of controlling this matter
arises from the alleged want of jurisdic-
ton of our Government over those
waters beyond the three-mile limit: The
question will be again considered at
future meeting.

THE CROP PROSPECTS.
Rain Needed IN All Parts Of the
state.

States
SAN Francisco, April THE Pro-
duce Exchange to-day publishes reports
from all the wheat counties in California,
giving the actual condition of growing
wheat on April 1st. 1t summarizes the
situation as follows: "The acreage
seeded to summer.fallow is considerably
below the average, but this part of the
crop is in generally good condition,
and with any rain will make good
crop. The total acreage seeded is
below the amount seeded last year.
Late grain, of which there is large
amount, is beginning to suffer for want OF
moisture, aud in some sections is be-
yond redemption-notably on the west
side of the San Joaquin valley, where
the acreage seeded is not twenty-five
per cent. Of last years area. From Mo.
desto south the crops have suffered and
are in very critical condition. Merced
county is making, perhaps. the worst
showing. Fresno and Tulare, with
immediate and heavy rain, can still
make fair crop. Showers will
but do little if any good. Parts of the
central counties, such as San Joaquin,
the eastern end of Stanislaus, and Sacra.
mento, promise well, but rain is needed.
The same applies to the northern and
eastern part Of Solano, and from there
north along the Sacramento river, where
there is a large amount of summer-fallow
and early winter grain; even here
late grain has suffered, and the bal
inc
west of Sacramento are fair and
can stand couple of weeks
more of dry weather. The outcome in
Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey and
San Luis Obispo depends entirely on the
weather during the first half of April,
and with good rains will make fair
crop. The southern counties, with the
exception of Ventura, are not encourag-
ing. The acreage in all of them shows
more or less of decrease, and they do
not promise to cut large figure
in the yield of wheat this year. On
the other hand, they have large acre.
age in barley, and with good spring
will turn out a large amount of this
grain. Barley on the whole looks bet.
ter than wheat, and the acreage shows
an increase from last year.
The reports collected by the Eoening
Bulletin, a summary of which was
telegraphed last night, and which
are six days later than the
Produce Exchange reports, con.
firm the latter as stated above. Yester-
days showers were quite copious in the
northern and central parts of the State.
but it was not there they were most
needed. The rain ceased at an early
hour this morning, and sunny weather
